Ah… so let me get this straight. So instead of being poor in a capitalist country, you’d rather be poor in a communist country?

Edit: JFC dude. Why are there so many of these types on Lemmy

Save your mental health, just block them once they are clearly identified, it’s not worth the effort at all.

Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?

No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.

That’s not socialists though. We call them tankies as an umbrella term.

Please don’t forget that the vast majority of non-US people lead significantly sadder lives.

The two most populous countries in the world are China and India, in that order, and I haven’t heard many good things about the standard of living in either of them.
